L'Oreal Paris hydra-total 5 ultra- even ritual review

I received my first influenster box a few weeks back. I was so excited to receive the box and was even more thrilled when it was a skin care line to even skin tone. Because of my health issues my skin scares really bad form of flaw. I received the L'Oreal Paris hydra-total 5 ultra- even ritual.
When I started  using it it was fine the first day but then my skin started to react by braking out. I don't normally break out and I ended up with 4+ blemishes. This was very frustrating because my skin scares from everything. I stopped using the spf 20 lotion and even moisturizer and that seemed to stop the issue. I do usually break out from sun screen. The toner and scrub have been great I haven't had an issue with them. I don't find them evening my skin tins noticeably yet but it hasn't made my skin break out or react horribly. I would recommend this product range if you don't have overly sensitive skin. I am sure I would be seeing more results if I could use the whole line. But even still I am happy with the products I can use.
If you don't know influenster is linked to your social media. You take surveys on their site to see if you qualify for free boxes of product. In return if and when you get a box (it's never guaranteed you get a box) you try them and give honest reviews.

Essential oils I'm loving

I started using essential oils regularly last year. I mostly use young living essential oils. I like the fact that they have their own farms so you know where the product is coming from. Also the product is top quality so you can ingest them.

Lavender - I put it on our pillows and defuse it to help us sleep better. Also I use it to help with my skin. And if I feel anxiety coming on you can feel it melt away as you smell it.

Thieves - if I feel a cold or flu coming on or like I'm coming down with something I use this by defusing and putting on my chest and feet. I also just love the smell of it.

Peppermint - I use it mostly when I'm not feeling well and have an upset stomach the smell will help calm it down.

Lemon - I like to add to my water for some added flavour.

Grapefruit - same as lemon it's great in water.

These are just a few of the oils I use regularly. I have also started making my own bath items with my essential oils. With trying to go chemical free so making my own body scrubs and face masks with essential oils it's cost effective and I feel better about using them on my body and in my house. I am so happy I found out about young living and started using their oils. They are better quality then the oils I was previously using. They have helped me so much with my health issues and improved my emotional stability and mental clarity.
Do you use essential oils? Do you find they make a difference in your life?
